Encaustic workshops

I am offering workshops Feb. 8 & 9 and 11 & 12. The first two days are introductory and the last two are more advanced techniques. See my website for details. www.ezshwan.com

Cynthia Hamilton's first show.(She's my daughter)

Advanced workshop

We just finished the last of the four days and I know I had as much fun as the participants. This makes the thirty seventh workshop in the last few years.Everything in my studio is covered in encaustic.

I love sharing the encaustic technique and watching the original pieces that everyone creates. I photograph all the participants and keep the images in albums to share with all.








At the end of our time together, I feel I have made new friends and have opened up a new creative adventure for others. For more information go to my website="http://www.ezshwan.com">

December workshops

Monday and Tuesday I had the introductory encaustic workshop. It was fun, as always, to share this beautiful technique with others. It's a day off today and tomorrow and Friday we have the advanced techniques workshop. The weather is beautiful so I can keep the doors and windows of the studio open for light and air.

Gem series

I finished 13 of the small, 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" paintings. The finishing of the frames took a couple of days, but I like the look of the box frame. They can stand on a table or shelf or hang on a wall.
